Emily's testimony

Hi Alva!

I first ordered Detox in 2001. I had been feeling emotionally and physically drained for weeks. I drove nearly 3 hours total on my daily commute to work, I worked 6 days per week, and sometimes I worked more than 8 hours each day. I'd known the benefits of keeping up with the condition of my insides before--I used to juice and eat raw foods periodically. Got my first colonic years ago. But I had gotten off track because of my crowded life. I'd seen the Detox ad for years, and this divine time, I saw it in Essence or I saw a brochure somewhere. I knew I'd been picking up whatever I felt like eating, whenever I wanted to eat it. I ordered.

One day, it was all I could do to get to work. When I dragged in, even my supervisor looked at me at said, "You don't look like yourself. What's wrong?" I wound up at the nurse's office, and I was instructed to go home. I took 10 days off. On the 2nd day, Detox arrived in the mail. Each day, as I drank the tea, and drank the lemon/honey recipe you recommended, I read things that encouraged me--the Holy Bible, books on fasting (don't you have a list of recommended readings? I already had some of them), Sugar Blues, Quick Fasting, I prayed the Prayer, and I told the Lord I needed help...and I rested.

Seven days later, I had lost 17 pounds !!! I kept going, even after returning to work. I ate fruit, veggies, and light meats (tuna, salmon, etc.). People started running up to me asking what in the world had happened!!! My skin was like a baby's, even the whites of my eyes seemed whiter. My "bat wings" I'd developed under my upper arms were gone, and I mean it, I had energy, I was encouraged, inspired.

I sold a few packets back then as a result...I know that weight loss is just ONE of the benefits of ridding myself of the residue of processed food, junk, too much fried food, etc. I've been through a lot since then, and I need help again. I did a search to find you again...the word "detox" did not lead me to your site. But when I typed in "detox tea sold in Chicago", there you were---www.internalcleansing.com

Today, I ordered a case, I am looking forward to a new testimony. I've even taken pictures today in anticipation of the changes to come.

Thank you for all you and your husband and family do to educate and inform us getting down to basics of taking care of our insides....and the life-long benefits.

God Bless You!!!

I'm hungry, watermelon is out of season

You indicated eating watermelon to help with hunger. What can I replace watermelon with being that it isn’t watermelon season?
Honey dew, cantaloupe, apples, carrots, celery, veggie broth, anything unprocessed that is mostly water.
Great. Thanks.

Thanks for shipping the product, I received it yesterday and here is my testimonial, as promised:
I have been using DetoX for quite some time but I followed the instructions to the T the last time and the results were amazing! After the first day I wasn't hungry and my stomach felt flatter. After 5 days, I weighed myself and had lost 14 pounds. My skin was clear, I looked 10 years younger, and felt so much better.
I have maintained the 14 pound weight loss but would like to take off another 20 pounds and I know of no better way then the detox way. I love detox and will use it until the product doesn't exist which I hope is never. Thanks Alva for keeping detox alive, I will always be a customer and would eventually like to sell it if at all possible. thanks

Avoiding holiday weight gain

November and December are always our worst DetoX sales months because we know weight loss is a lost cause during the holidays. January is our best month because we are trying to lose that holiday weight.

We intend to change that and turn November and December into our best months. There is so much temptation around the holidays, we can use them to establish Holiday eating patterns that do not allow for weight gain.

Here is my plan. I tested it over Thanksgiving and intend to perfect it during Christmas and New Years.

Four days before the holiday (in this case Sunday), I begin DetoX and continue for 3 days. Then a day of fruit, veggie broth, salads, and veggie soup (in that order). I enjoy the holiday meal making sure I fix my own plate.

Sunday before New Years Day, I start the same process.

It worked like a charm over Thanksgiving. I ate a little of everything and enjoyed myself. I didn't weigh myself but I think I may have lost a couple of pounds.

Don't be confused by diet soda

A storm is brewing in New York because the State wants to tax regular soda and not diet soda. The implication is that diet soda is better for you than regular soda. In fact diet soda may be worse than regular soda since it contains artificial sweeteners (chemicals) which may be (and probably are) worse than plain old sugar.

This is not an argument in defense of soda. Neither soda nor diet soda should be consumed by anyone interested in their health. The current diet soda vs soda argument only serves to confuse since both are manufactured and sold by the same people.

Soda is a poor substitute for traditional fermented drinks such as root beer and ginger ale. Fermented drinks aid in digestion and general health. they take time to prepare but it is time well spent.

Beet Kvass

For the more adventuresome among you I hope you will join me in investigating fermented food. I've been looking for a tonic that would compliment DetoX and found beet kvass which I have been experimenting with for the past few weeks. The following article gives the recipe and a great explanation in the form of questions and answers.

Beet kvass is a traditional Slavic drink which I found in a cookbook, Nourishing Traditions, by Sally Fallon. I highly recommend it to all who are interested in traditional health practices.
